The World Assembly: Understanding that the universe is composed of beings of diverse cultures, backgrounds and religions; Having considered that the importance of certain cultural and religious practices are integral to the beliefs of such followers; However dismayed that there are those who, in the name of said culture or religion, continue to perform traditional rituals that cause irreparable harm or death; Determining that such actions are violations of the basic human right to live; Defining "ritual sacrifice" as the intentional and ritualistic act of killing one or more other beings (a) as an offering to a god or spirit, (b) as an effort to control sapient population growth, or (c) as a method by which a ruling class or regime creates or perpetuates social hierarchy; Clarifying that such "ritual sacrifice" does not include capital punishment, assisted suicide or euthanasia of a terminally ill patient or other medical procedures, or any acts of war including insurgency and counterinsurgency; Hereby: 1. Bans the ritual sacrifice of sapient beings in all member nations; 2. Requires member nations criminalize such acts of ritual sacrifice and prosecute perpetrators accordingly; 3. Urges member nations to ban the ritual sacrifice of animals and other sentient beings. |
